There is a serious difference between Daddy's approval and Daddy seeing all the bling in the life of his Son. My Son is very well paid....very, very well paid, as is his Wife......but they cannot fund a Racing Team, for example.

Daddy Cranston must have been at least curious.

if your son had a company and he told you he'd scored some multi million dollar contracts would you be suspicious of the bling? ?

They were ATO contracts... so again yes.

were they? I must have missed that bit. Can you show where you got that?

Yes. He knows nothing about 'companys' and therefore would have told me about it before he even ventured into it.

And if your son knew about companies and told you he scored some multi million dollar contracts, would you still be suspicious?

this didn't just happen in one week you know. This has been going on for ages. Your son might not have a clue about companies but I think it's safe to assume this guy did, or else he wouldn't have got away with it for so long.

not sure why everyone feels that dragging Michael Cranston into this has any relevance. As far as I'm aware his dad had nothing to do with it. The son is an adult and responsible for his own actions.

typical media sensationalism

WHERE in the **** did the father think all of this money was coming from considering they both worked for the same company wiht the father being at the helm???

ya ******* idiot...

his work? He ran a company that did some bullsh1t job and made good money ... you think he gave his father enough specifics about every aspect of what the company did so that the father could make some informed decision?

I know my father has no idea where my money comes from. He knows what industry I'm in, but he couldn't tell you exactly what I do. He knows I've never needed to borrow money off him and he knows my house has been paid off, but apart from that he has no idea of exactly how much money I make. As far as he is concerned as long as I'm happy and not in any trouble, it's irrelevant to him and he doesn't want to know.

you still seeking daddys approval that you need to tell him all the details?

When you work for the same organisation & know that questions will be asked ...

as they are ..

then yes ... father should know ... aka father knows best.

If father has no responsibility in the matter then why has he been charged?

I hadn't realised son worked for the ATO ... I haven't read up on this story since it broke.

not as far as I'm aware, but like I said earlier, apart from reading about it when it the story first broke, I haven't kept up with the details.

Well, the allegation seems to be that Daddy was asked by Son if there was an ATO audit on a Company....and Daddy told him.

That's the least of it. I reckon Daddy is up to his eyeballs.

ahh ... that's what you were on about. I wasn't aware of it

Maybe his dad understood that EVERYONE worries about audits. They're time consuming, they're a royal pain in the arse and even if you've done nothing wrong you always have the 'what if I made a mistake' question hanging in the back of your mind.

Okay....but Daddy is supposed to keep his mouth shut on those things.......no matter who asks.
